Did you try again in safe mode &amp;&nbsp;does it still work there?<br />

When booting can you see the BIOS/UEFI startup info?

Need more info... PC model? Monitor model? Connection type?

Did you try again in safe mode & does it still work there?

When booting can you see the BIOS/UEFI startup info?

<div>
Try another monitor, shut down, start up and test. Safe Mode is pretty bland.

I can't see anything on the monitor so I'm unable to change the boot options or check the bios. <br />
<br />
The connection &nbsp;is VGA. I have attached a photo with the model of the PC. The monitor is an HP w1858.<br />
<br />
I removed the CMOS battery and let the PC sit for a minute. No luck. <br />
<br />
I swapped monitors w/ one that is running on another PC. No luck. <br />
<br />
I can hear the PC running. It sounds pretty active for the first minute or two. I believe it's an I/O problem but I have no clue how to trouble shoot it without a monitor. There are no beeps upon startup. <br />
<br />
Thanks for all the help!<br />
